The hugemem kernel supports up to 64GB of memory for 32 bit AS3 systems.
There is some performance impact to using memory sizes over 4GB on 32bit
systems, from what I read 2-3%.
The limiting factor is the maximum memory allocation per user process,
which can not be larger than 4GB, the same goes for kernel address
space.
